What Philosophy Ought To Be by Nicholas Maxwell. “The proper task of philosophy is to keep alive awareness of what our most fundamental, important, urgent problems are, what our best attempts are at solving them and, if possible, what needs to be done to improve these attempts.”
“In Praise of Natural Philosophy: A Revolution in Thought and Life” by Nicolas Maxwell. Modern science began as natural philosophy. In the time of Newton, what we call science and philosophy today – the disparate endeavours – formed one mutually interacting, integrated endeavour of natural philosophy: to improve our knowledge and understanding of the universe, and to improve our understanding of ourselves as a part of it. But in the 18th and 19th centuries philosophy and science split apart. It is time to re-unite them.
